Chilhowee Seeds

Jeff Beam had some work commitments in Nashville, TN. Conveniently he drove, pulling the Apis along and

was able to fly at Chilhowee on April 13th, 19th, and 20th. On the 19th he did 140 km on the ridge and on the

20th about a 100km triangle.

Weekend Warrior Rules - May May 11-12th – Climb is King (Height Gained in 1 hour)

The task for May is called Climb is King. How much altitude can you gain in any 60 minute period during a flight?

This one doesn't require and special recording device. Simply tap the altimeter, record the reading and start the stopwatch. Record your altitude at the top of your climb (after another tap of the altimeter.) Pull the dive brakes, get low again, and repeat the process over. At the end of 1 hour, total up your altitude gained in the climbs.

This task will not be handicapped by glider. And don't forget the 100 point bonuses. Of course, a barograph or other altitude recording device will make it easier to calculate and track your altitude gained, but one is not required.

Moriarty Seeds

Steve Leonard spent the April 26th/27th weekend in Moriarty and posted a couple of flights just over 450 km in

the FJ-1. Nice going!

Notes from the President

Thank you to all that came out to Sunflower for the spring work day. Tony, Leah, Bob, Don, Lauren, Matt, Shea, Bob, KC, Rich, Neale, Keith, Mike, Dave, Kevin, Steve, Summer, Jerry, and two new faces that I apologize for not knowing your names. It was an incredible group of members that accomplished a lot: sealed hangar, installed work bench, made tow ropes, greased doors, repaired fire station door, cleared tie downs, cleared brush, cut limbs, hung no trespassing signs, repaired fence around pool, swept runway, cleaned up hangar, repaired sweeper, mowed grass, numbered hangar doors. Whew, I think that covers it! We still need to activate the restrooms. Water should be turned back on now, so all you plumbers out there, be ready. May marks the beginning of our soaring season. Each of you has signed up to work - your support is needed so that others may fly. How would you like it if no one was there to help you get launched? Please remem-ber your duty days. Conflicts come up, so please do your best to find a replacement if you can't make it. The duty day starts at 12 and ends at 5. If the weather is questionable, please talk to the others on the duty roster. Private ships may want to fly on windy days. Communication is key. Finally, for most of us it has been a long winter. Take your first flight with a CFIG. Sharpen your skills before tackling a long task. Lets make it a safe and successful soaring season. Andrew Peters, 3T

mation.

CAP at Sunflower April 27th and 28th

By Jerry Boone

For all of you who helped with the CAP Glider Orientation Flights this weekend, thank you very much!

Doubt literally filled the air Saturday morning as to whether the ca-dets would get to fly. Arriving to skies at 500 AGL was not so inspir-ing. It was quite cold and just a few brought jackets or jeans. Some of the CAP cadets assisted in washing the 2-33 while we waited for the clouds to lift. The forecast promised it would clear up so we wait-ed. By 1:00 PM the clouds were breaking up and just as everyone was getting excited, Sarah reported that the fuel pump was inopera-tive and could not get fuel into the towplane. With a little wrench twisting and time, the fuel pump shaft was free to spin and fuel was flowing. Of course, we didn’t get started until after 2:00 PM, in which we were able to fly 9 CAP cadet flights and around 7 senior members finishing up at 6:45 PM. We had 8 cadets who were driven to Sunflower from Lawrence. They had a very long day leaving Lawrence around 6:00 AM and didn’t get home until 10:00 PM.

Sunday morning we had a cadet from Salina and three from Kansas City take 2 flights each. A CAP 182 left New Century at 9:00 AM and made to Sunflower around 11:00 AM with a couple of cadets on board, a third cadet was driven to Sunflower from Kansas City. I had worn out what was left of the 2-33 skid on Saturday, so I put some new iron on it late that night for the Sunday flights. However, after arriving to the gliderport I discovered that I left the skid at home… oh well, good thing I live in Hutchinson.

In all, this weekend we introduced soaring to 13 teenagers (with Jer-ry in the 2-33) and 7 adults (with Tony in the 2-22).

Sunflower Seeds

April 5th: KC Alexander and John Wells assembled John’s V tail 1-34R.

April 6th: Don Jones, Dennis Brown, Tony Condon, and Keith Smith were all seen in the morning. Don &

Tony were retrieving trailers and Keith was helping his mechanic with the annual on Tinkerbell.

April 21st: Bob Hinson, Tony & Leah Condon, KC Alexander, and Dennis Brown were at the field. Tony

flew, KC was kind enough to provide a tow even though he thought Tony was crazy for trying to soar in the

wind. Dennis and Bob helped with the launch and Leah chased Tony to his landing spot east and a little

north of Nickerson, 18 miles out.

April 27th: Jerry Boone and Tony Condon flew rides in the 2-33 and 2-22. Bob Hinson (KD), Keith Smith

(LW), and Dennis Brown (LY) all took at least one tow although lift was weak. Matt Gonitzke did a few

flights in the 2-22 and Don Jones finished off a long day of working the line with 2 instructional flights in the 2

-22 with Tony. Sarah Wildman and Mike Logback provided tows in the 175.

April 28th: Jerry Boone flew another day of CAP rides. Bob Hinson (KD), Keith Smith (LW), and Dennis

Brown (LY) all flew but not much lift reported. Bob Holliday and Rafael Soldan also flew the Lark. Sarah

Wildman once again towed.

May 2013 KSA Calendar

Matt Gonitzke photographed Tony Condon landing the

KSA Grob at Strother Field while giving a ride at the fly in

last year.

Hutchinson Control Tower might close June 15th

Spring Work Day

The Spring Work Day was a great success. At least

Steve Leonard, Andrew Peters, Tony & Leah Con-

don, Don Jones, Mike Davis, Jeff Braden, Jerry

Boone, Dan Ullrich, Matt Gonitzke, Neale Eyler, KC

Alexander, Keith Smith, Rich Stone, Summer

Gajewski, Bob Holliday, Rafael Soldan, Shea Zuck-

erman, Lauren Rezac, and Bob Hinson participated.

Work included sweeping the runway, clearing trees,

work on hangar doors, hauling the old camper frame

to the burn pile, work on the door to the firehouse and

doing some work to keep the tower building closed up.

Some more tiedowns were cleaned out as well. Ra-

fael arrived in style flying the Wichita Skylarks Lark

behind the Skylarks towplane from the Wichita

Gliderport. A few loops were witnessed before he

landed. The Lark will be living at Sunflower this sea-

son. Lauren and Don finished the day by assembling

and weighing Don’s new-to-him Russia. They had

plenty of help of course. There was probably more

accomplished than that, I just can’t remember every-

thing that was going on.

RULES FOR KSA FLYING AWARDS 2013 Unless otherwise noted, the following applies to all awards:

Awards are to be made for flights with departure points in Kansas.

All distance and speed flights must start at an altitude of 1000 meters (3281 feet) or less AGL, except the Kowbell Klas-sic.

No altitude gate is required.

Handicaps, when they are used to evaluate competing pilot accomplishments while flying different sailplanes, will be the current handicaps used by SSA. For sailplanes without a SSA handicap, a handicap will be established by the KSA Board of Directors. For the 2012 season, the SSA 2012 Handicap list, as amended/added to below, will be used (the 2012 list is available on the SSA web page, www.ssa.org):

Schreder HP-18 - 1.02

When handicaps are used, an additional factor will be applied to any flight if the aircraft is carrying inflight disposable ballast (water) at takeoff. The additional factor will be multiplying the original handicap by .92

Turnpoints will be photographed

The camera does not need to be mounted. Handheld is OK.

No specific film type or processing is required.

Only photographs pertinent to the flight need be submitted. An uncut film strip is not required.

Contest style turnpoint photos can be used for any turnpoint in the KSA turnpoint book.

FAI style photos can be used for any turnpoint.

GPS ground tracks may be submitted in lieu of photographs for any task. The track must have the date and pertinent times displayed on it. It is preferred that the track be submitted in the IGC format. On declared tasks, the ground track must show that the flight path went around the outside of the turnpoint. On pilot selected tasks, the ground track must show that the glider passed within ¼ mile of the turnpoint, in the location for a proper turnpoint photo.

Speed tasks- Allowed methods for time recording:

Start/Finish gate (ground timed)

Data back photos of start/finish

Pilot timed task

Wooden Wings Award

Awarded for the longest flight in a wooden winged sailplane. The task may be free distance, or if turnpoints are to be used, they must be declared in advance of the flight and in the sequence to be used. The task declaration may be written or verbal. The turnpoints need not form a closed course. A remote finish point can be used.

If the course is abandoned before all turnpoints are made, the flight will be scored as the distance for the achieved turn-points, plus the distance to the next declared turnpoint, minus the distance from the landing point to the next attempted turnpoint, but not less than the distance to the last achieved turnpoint.

Mamie Cup

Awarded for the greatest distance flown from a Kansas departure. The task may be free distance, or if turnpoint are to be used, they must be declared in advance of the flight and in the sequence to be used. The task declaration may be written or verbal. The turnpoints need not form a closed course. A remote finish point can be used.

If the course is abandoned before all turnpoints are made, the flight will be scored as the distance for the achieved turn-points, plus the distance to the next declared turnpoint, minus the distance from the landing point to the next attempted turnpoint, but not less than the distance to the last achieved turnpoint.

KSA Flying Horse (Silver)

Awarded for the best speed achieved around a 100 KM pre-declared closed course with a maximum of two turnpoints.

KSA 200 KM

Awarded for the best speed achieved around a 200 KM pre-declared closed course with a maximum of two turn-points.course with a maximum of two turnpoints.

Page 16: TOW PLANE MANAGER – STEVE LEONARD DIRECTORS: RAY … 05 VARIO.pdf · 2017. 6. 22. · and available for test fit. More reading at June 1975 Soaring and the Fall 2012 Bungee Cord

KSA Flying Horse (Gold)

Awarded for the best speed achieved around a 300 KM pre-declared closed course with a maximum of two turnpoints.

KSA Handicap Score Trophy (Pilot of the Year)

Awarded for the best combined score in four tasks - Duration (not handicapped, but 6 hours max scored), Altitude Gain (not handicapped), Distance, and Speed. Distance and speed are handicapped per SSA Handicaps or the KSA amend-ed/added handicap. Departure point for all flights must be in Kansas. Data must be taken from four flights (i.e., one flight per task).

The distance task may be free distance, or if turnpoint are to be used, they must be declared in advance of the flight and in the sequence to be used. The task declaration may be written or verbal. The turnpoints need not form a closed course. A remote finish point can be used.

If the course is abandoned before all turnpoints are made, the flight will be scored as the distance for the achieved turn-points, plus the distance to the next declared turnpoint, minus the distance from the landing point to the next attempted turnpoint, but not less than the distance to the last achieved turnpoint.

The speed task must be a closed course of at least 100 KM. However, a predeclared 200 KM (minimum) non-closed course may be used if you are flying a sailplane with a handicap factor of 1.36 or greater (Examples: 2-22, 1-26, 2-33, Swallow, etc.) In this case, a wind correction factor of 15 MPH will be subtracted from the achieved speed prior to scor-ing.

A score of 1000 points will be awarded the best performance in each task. Each contestant’s performance will be rati-oed according to the best performance in the task being evaluated. The sum of each contestant’s scores will be com-pared, the highest being the winner.

Cumulative Speed Trophy (Charles Henning Award)

The intent of this trophy is to encourage more people to fly cross country. All a person needs to compete is a sailplane, a databack camera or a recording GPS, a KSA turnpoint book, and a tow.

1) The cross country task will be a Pilot Selected Task, or PST with a minimum time of 2 Hours.

2) Speed will be determined by the time on course as indicated by the databack camera or recording GPS, or 2 Hours, whichever is greater.

3) Scoring for the trophy will use the SSA handicap or the KSA amended/added handicap.

4) There is no limit on start or finish altitude.

5) The task can consist of any turnpoints in the KSA turnpoint book. Contest style photographs will be used. Turnpoints can be flown in any order. However, if a turnpoint is used more than once, two other turnpoints must be photographed in between. If a GPS Flight log is used for documentation, the flight log must show the glider passed within ¼ mile of the turnpoint, in the location for a proper turnpoint photo.

6) The first picture for the task must include the date. Note: More than one task can be on the same roll of film. Only one task per flight.

7) The second picture for the task will be the start point. This picture determines the Start Time.

8) To finish a task, the pilot must take a picture of the finish point, or take a picture when the glider comes to a stop af-ter landing. If a landing photo is used, the next photo on the film must show the glider and an easily recognizable land-mark. No more than 30 minutes should elapse between the landing photo and the glider ID photo. Note: The Start Point and the Finish Point Must be the same point.

9) The winner will be determined by averaging the two best tasks of the year for each pilot. The averaging will be ac-complished by adding the two speeds and dividing by 2.

Lead C

Awarded to the pilot or soaring supporter who makes the most noteworthy non-achievement during the calendar year.

Preying Mantis

Awarded to the pilot who makes the most significant advance in his or her soaring ability during the calendar year. To be eligible for this award, the pilot must not yet have his or her Silver Badge at the beginning of the calendar year.
